I don't really see a difference between a real /tmp and a real /var/tmp 
directory. A directory should be just a directory, and symlinks aren't 
exactly a new invention either. I'm a bit surprised this should break 
anything.

On servers I usually have a small root partition and sometimes even 
read-only, so I try to keep /tmp on its own partition or symlink it to 
the /var partition.

This system is my laptop, and /tmp is a symlink to /var so nothing can 
fill up the root partition or thrash the filesystem by accident.
